I don't see bots as a huge problem, because it's somewhat easy to verify that someone is a real person, and it would be quite obvious if someone is using lots of bots for their cause.

That only works on platforms designed to match user profiles with real-world persons. This platform definitely isn't.
- Geee 3y agoYou can read their profile or read their comment history to verify their humanness. Faking everything wouldn't be impossible, but certainly difficult & take time.
- samus 3y agoFalling profiles on scale might be hard, but so is verifying wherever they are real. If you have only even 20 commenters replying to one of your comments, then you're gonna spend the rest of the hour digging through them to figure out which are bots and which aren't. The comment history is not visible on every relevant platform, and there are good reasons for people to disable it where possible. Furthermore, many people keep their profiles minimal out of principle. Hard to distinguish those from bots.
